(Raw Data Set) International Women's Day 2022: In Conversation with Marcia Willis Stewart KC (Hon)

Abstract

This reflection provides an edited account of a conversation between Marcia Willis Stewart KC (Hon), managing partner at Birnberg Peirce; Henna Masih, a Westminster Law School alumnus; and Manvir Kaur Grewal, Senior Lecturer in Law at the University of Westminster. The conversation was hosted via Zoom by Harriet Samuels, Reader in Law at the University of Westminster, to mark International Women's Day. The dialogue focused on Marcia's unconventional pathway to the legal profession and her experience as a Black woman lawyer in a leading civil liberties firm. The discussion and question-and-answer session identified broader themes around civil liberties, activism, the nature of justice, diversity in the legal profession and Marcia's advice to law students.
